On the 2nd of January,2018, the Cameroon minister of secondary education; Ngalle Bibehe Jean Ernest Massena, released a communique clearly stating that the registration deadline of the 2017/2018 GCE Examination which was scheduled on the 29th of December,2017 , has been extended to February 2nd 2018 due to the inconveniences caused by the activities of the secessionists in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon.

This is the communiqué released by Ngalle Bibehe Jean Ernest Massena; the Minister of secondary education...

It should be noted that the registration process as well as the result of the 2016/2017 GCE examination was very poor due to the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon and the hoax about a blank academic year; which demotivated many parents from registering their children and students from reading. The statistics of the 2016/2017 GCE examination indicate a 35.32% pass for Advanced Level down from 66.52% in 2016. The Advanced Level Technical scored 22.37% against 54.33% in 2016.

For the General Education, 38.628 candidates registered for the examination and had 33.037 students who effectively sat for the examination. 3.591 absences were recorded while 11.670 were declared successful. For the Advanced Level Technical, 3.472 students entered their names as candidates. Of the number, 2.567 wrote while 905 students were absent and 574 candidates passed. Meanwhile the GCE Ordinary level General Education (O/L) results show a 25.29 percentage pass this year drastically dropping from 62.17 in 2016. Only 11.770 candidates pass out of the 46.532 who sat the exam in the various centres of Cameroon. The GCE Technical O/L registered a 28.49 percentage pass as against 40.12 last year.

The ministry of Secondary education is working very hard to ensure that what happened last year shouldn,t happen this year . We urge you to collaborate with the ministry of secondary education so that the 2017/2018 academic year can be more successful than the previous year(s).
